Surely the housemates should be told this news. Its a worldwide loss and they will be the only people not to know.

Nope

There's been quite a few threads on this, but it was confirmed on BBLB yesterday that they won't be told.

Wasn't that before she went in the house?
Anyway, that was bigger news to her than MJs death would be to most. They don't know MJ, beyond the initial shock and perhaps upset - it doesn't directly impact their life at all.

Of Course Not.


That is against the Rules.


It has nothing to do within that house.


They get the news on Eviction
nothing wrong at all with that
Fact.

no she was told in the house and she didnt believe it. and the rule says housemates aren't to know what is going on in the outside world yet she was an exception and told this.

They were not told about the London bombings so doubt this will be an exception
